The thing is that live 3 hours away from my family, and the reason I moved away is that I don't get along with them. Now when I visit them I really feel uncomfortable, because we live different lives, we have different perspective on things. And sometimes I just really want to cut the connection - as in change number and don't talk to them for a year or so...
I can't deal with them, and there is a fact that they bring me down, they fight a lot, and they make me want to do destructive things just in spite.
If you were in my shoes, what would you do?
Leave for good? Or still visit them once in a while?
I knew, when I left them almost 3 years ago, that we'd eventually split ways... We just don't mesh :(
I'd visit on major holidays only. There's a transition that has to occur within families as kids age and mature. Until they learn to treat you in a way that makes you comfortable, I would cut them out.
Don't cut them off. They may be screwed up, they may fight, but they love you, and if you're in need of help they're the people to go to.
When I first went to college I felt good about getting away from mine. But I've found that even if I lead a different lifestyle than they do and they're completely different than me, they are the only people in the world who love me unconditionally.
You can hold them at arm's length if you need to, but don't cut them off.
